K's Point of View: Talking to Ants

We always have a lot of black ants at home. I always wonder how they get in. Drop a speck of rice or bread on the floor and boom, in a matter of seconds, it is swarming with ants. How do they get there? They would have entered through some door, and we should have seen them march in, right? Anyway, black ants are supposed to be signs that some money is coming soon (even Michelle of MyMomFriday says so!), so we welcome them. Yes, we welcome them, but only if they come in pairs. Otherwise, we wipe them all up with a wet towel. (Sorry, ant-lovers).

Recently, we had this episode of ants on the floor again. It was K who spotted them. We counted... 1-2-3-4.... Ooops, too many. Hence, off husband goes for a wet rag. K takes it upon herself to warn them.

K: Hi ants!

Ants: Hi K! (i'm sure they replied, who can resist a cute four year old?)

K: Wait there, okay? Papa went to get a wet towel.

Ants: Wet towel for...?

K: He's going to wipe you.

Ants: (looks scared)

K: Don't worry, it will feel just like you're taking a bath.

She did warn them, didn't she? 

Preschool Congress at The Medical City

I chanced upon this post from the Medical City on Facebook last Friday. It sounds like a really interesting seminar, and will really help a lot of parents out there who are at a crossroad about their kids educations. My husband and I have had to decide recently about whether to let our eldest stay at her current pre-school or whether we should send her to big school already. This literally took us 6months (although admittedly, we did a lot of procrastinating). It was definitely one of the toughest decisions we've had to make as a couple. We also had to decide whether to send our almost two year old to preschool or not. There were too many "what if" questions that kept popping up. We also knew very little about preschool education, or for that matter, education in general. Since both my kids are not yet 5, I am really interested in attending this seminar. I hope I can free up my schedule to go. Too bad we can't avail of the discount anymore. Still, 700 pesos is not so bad if your child's future is at stake right?
